Michael's cross training

As spring takes hold, Michael Gebert made the most of the remaining snow with a bike/ ski/ speedflying session, and used his t6c to measure total altitude gain.

Michael takes up the story:

"Last week I had some spare time and took the opportunity to use the snow conditions which are still really good.


"Previously I've made some short two hour trips to my nearest mountain, the Nebelhorn. It's five minutes away and also a really good flying spot. But this time there was fog in the valley and it was better to go skiing than flying. I did this trip with a good friend and it was a perfect tour to the 2400m high mountain.


Going up took five hours with skis and speeding down took only four minutes with the speedglider! Great fun! For first kilometers we rode by bike, with ski boots and skies on our shoulders."
